This easy recipe for old fashioned slow-cooked green beans starts with bacon and canned green beans and turns into something that tastes like someone’s grandma made them.
– In a large saucepan placed over medium-high heat, add bacon and cook until bacon is brown.– Reduce heat to medium. Drain off bacon grease, if desired.– Add onions to the pan and cook while stirring, until the onions are translucent.
– Add green beans and liquid from the can. Stir to mix the bacon and onions with the green beans.– Add water to the pan. Make sure the beans are covered with water.– Add salt and pepper to taste. Add lemon-pepper to taste if using.– Bring green beans to a boil over high heat.
– Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for at least 2 hours. Longer simmering is fine, just be sure to add water occasionally so beans do not dry out.– Serve hot.
